5 Best Pull On Work Boots

Sometimes
lace-up work boots just aren't practical. Welders in need of protective work
boots may find that the laces on lace-up work boots can catch an errant spark,
and ranchers may find that boot laces have a tendency to get caught in barbed
wire fences. Even when laces don't pose a potential hazard in the work
environment, they will eventually wear out or tear, requiring replacement.

Whether running behind in getting ready for work or getting home after a long
day at the job site or out in the field, pull-on work boots simplify the
process of getting ready for work or getting ready to relax after a hard day's
work without the hassle of tying or untying boot laces.

Whether for convenience
or to prevent injuries on the work site, only the best pull on work boots can
hold up to the challenges and long hours of hard-working men and women who
don't want or need the hassles of lace-up work boots.

For boots
rugged enough to handle the elements and handsome enough to wear into the
office or out on the town, the Marauder Multishox Waterproof Steel Toe boot
by Wolverine delivers with stately cinnamon colored full-grain leather
uppers that are fully waterproof to keep your feet dry in wet
conditions.

Two hundred grams of insulation will keep feet warm in
wintry conditions while the mesh lining helps keep feet dry and
comfortable when it's warm outside.

Removable gel insoles work in
conjunction with the compression pads on the rubber outsoles and flexible
nylon shank to provide the most comfortable experience possible during the
course of the work day without compromising on offering stellar traction
in slick conditions.

Even with the steel toe cap, the roomy toe
box permits ample space for wider feet. Wolverine's Marauder Multishox
Waterproof Steel Toe boots enjoy an aggregate rating of 4.9 out of 5 and
are only available in men's sizes.

Style
doesn't have to come at the expense of comfort or safety on the job. Blundstone's
BL552 work boot has a heat-formed heel as part of a shock-absorbing
system to reduce stress on the back and lower joints while standing or
walking, making this an ideal work boot for workers with back, knee
or foot conditions.

The cushioning insoles of these boots, which can
be removed to be replaced with orthopedic insoles for extra comfort, wickmoisture away from feet and out of the breathable and stylish moss
green suede leatheruppers to keep feet comfortable and dry
throughout the work day.

While the uppers are not waterproof, the polyurethane
outsoles will grip nearly any surface to prevent slips in slick conditions.
Pull tabs on the front and back of the shank's top and the supple
leather lining make putting these boots on or taking them off incredibly
simple. The BL552 work boots by Blundstone hold a solid 4.8 out of 5 rating
and are only available in men's sizes.

Should a
more classic style of pull on boot be desired, the Rigger work
boot by Dr. Martens Work emulates the Wellington style of boot with
the added protection of a steel toe cap in a spacious toe box.

The trademark
air-cushioned outsoles protect feet against slipping on slick surfaces as
well as electrical hazards, oil, acid, and alkali spills while cushioned
insoles support the natural contours of the wearer's feet throughout the
work day.

With the leather uppers available in satiny black, distressed
caramel, or umber, style-conscious workers will have little trouble
coordinating their work boots with the rest of their work attire nor feel
uncomfortable with wearing these boots during casual outings after work.

Despite not being insulated, the padding in the shaft of the boots will help
keep feet warm in cold weather conditions as well as prevent the shaft of the
boots from chafing the wearer's calves. Dr. Martens Work's Rigger boots boast a
4.8 out of 5 rating and are available in men's and women's sizes.

The iconic
look of cowboy boots meets the practicality of work boots with the Rambler
Work Pull-On boot by Ariat. With clay brown uppers and chocolate
brown shafts made of full-grain leather that has been given a weathering
treatment, these boots have the look of a broken-in pair of boots straight
out of the box.

A patented insole system and forked composite shank
allow for a flexible boot that requires very little break-in time and feels
similar to wearing an athletic shoe as opposed to a work boot.

In addition to
adding a distinctive touch to the style of the boot, the square toe box
provides more toe room than most cowboy style work boots. Thick soles
resist slipping and oil with treads that channel liquids out of the soles to
prevent tracking liquids after walking through them.

As is the case with most
cowboy style boots, these boots are generally considered to run approximately
one size larger than most shoes. Ariat's Rambler Work Pull-On boots hold a 4.7
out of 5 rating and are only available in men's sizes.

Sometimes
the hazards of the job site are nature-related as opposed to chemical hazards.
Workers whose jobs involve walking through snake-infested areas or areas
with thorny shrubbery will appreciate the protective qualities of the 17"
Vipercloth Snake Boot by Chippewa.

Light yet durable outsoles and a triple
ribbed steel shank offer stable footing without the risk of slipping on
nearly any terrain while the soft leather lining and cushioned insoles make
these boots incredibly comfortable and supportive, even on all-day treks
through the woods.

Buckle closures at the ankle and top of the boot allow the
wearer to adjust the fit of the boot and have hardware that will not become
discolored from exposure to the elements.

Handsome tawny leather uppers
contrast with olive green cloth shafts made with a patented fabric that
protects against snake bites as well as thorn-bearing plants while
turning heads when worn in town. Chippewa's 17" Vipercloth Snake Boots
have earned a respectable aggregate rating of 4.6 out of 5 and are only
available in men's sizes.
